After twelve seasons and more than 2,800 episodes, the desktop series Amar es para siempre is in its final stretch. But before saying goodbye, the audience will be able to meet its successor, Dreams of Freedom, which arrives on Antena 3 this Sunday the 25th with a first episode broadcast in prime time, at 10 p.m., to settle in definitively starting on Monday the 26th in the after-dinner sessions. from Monday to Friday at 3:45 p.m., just before the last episodes of Amar es para siempre.
Produced by Atresmedia TV in collaboration with Diagonal (Banijay Iberia) and with practically the same team as Amar es para siempre, the new fiction is set in the late fifties and focuses on the physical and psychological abuse of women. The series has all the ingredients to “catch the viewer,” said Montse García, director of Fiction at Atresmedia during its presentation to the media.
Family intrigues, crossed relationships, secrets and the stories of a company with many workers will intertwine. “We wanted to take another step in the universe of quality daily series and Dreams of Freedom is it: in the production design, the story and the cast,” García added. Joan Noguera is the director of the series whose cast is headed by Natalia Sánchez (Begoña Montes) and Alain Hernández (Jesús de la Reina).
The series is set in the late fifties, in Toledo, the place where one of the leading companies of the time, Perfumerías de la Reina, is located. The story begins with the escape, through the forest, of Begoña, the wife of Jesús de la Reina, along with the daughter of the protagonist, and from there, what was until that moment the life of the three is revealed. protagonists and their surroundings.
“It was difficult for us to find the right plot, but I think we have achieved it,” said Jaume Banacolocha, executive producer of Diagonal TV, who assures that they have tried to adapt to the time in which it takes place, to tell “the problem of mistreatment, not only physical but also psychological, that occurs today.”
Natalia Sánchez is happy to “put so many rights as our flag and defend them with all her heart and soul. “We love what we do and we hope that comes across the screen.” The actress defines her character as a feisty, empathetic, and just woman. She “She has grown up with many freedoms, she knows how to drive, she has studied a career and that drives her to fight for her dreams.”
“I hope it can serve as a mirror for all those people who may experience a similar situation; Sometimes, fiction can help identify your own problem and encourage you to ask for help so that you can also fight for your dreams and your freedom,” the actress stressed.
Alain Hernández plays the character with more edges and more controversy. “He is a very complicated character, but he is not just a ‘bad guy’ character, we are giving him many colors so that he is real.” An abuser who “one day seems like an angel and other days like a demon; stories of toxic relationships that must be treated with great tact, because they happen in real life.”
